OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by mamawalrus on December 1, 2010 at 2:34am: Hi all! found you through a mutual NAVYFORMOM. My son leaves next week for BC. As you can imagine this week has become very emotional and prayerful. Everything I do I cant help but think this is the last Tuesday he will be home for a long time. Its just torture to do that but I cant help it! Ugh,,,,,

Comment by mistydawn_67 on December 1, 2010 at 1:55am: Welcome Liz! My son went to MEPS in October. So I am new here also

Comment by Liz on November 30, 2010 at 1:59am: Hi:
My son is still in the recruiting process and has not even been to MEPS yet. I am very new on this forum and very grateful it exists.
Hope to get to "know" you all!

Comment by Rhonda8881 on November 28, 2010 at 12:36am: Have been praying since I heard about the first bombing early in the week.

Welcome 2boys1girl09! I also learned in years past that we need to be grateful for things we cannot see and also to see and count every gift He gives me. Congratulations on renewing your faith! I hope you can find someone from your church to help you along also.

Comment by mistydawn_67 on November 26, 2010 at 9:33pm: oh polli k..you got them..Couldn't imagine. I think this Korea thing is going to be bad. Prayers for the 7th fleet for sure!! Lot's of em.

Comment by polli k on November 26, 2010 at 9:20pm: I have been praying about the Korea situation.. My daughter is the one in the Navy, but my son is teaching English in Korea currently and so I am of course concerned. He told me this a.m. he was safe, so I hope he stays that way.. extra prayers are always good.. for Navy & civilians alike.

Comment by KatK on November 26, 2010 at 8:40pm: Please pray for the 7th fleet as they are in Korea for "exercises" with the S. Koreans.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on November 24, 2010 at 11:37pm: I wish all of you (and your sailors/soldiers) a Blessed and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday.

Comment by KS Cathy (S7Div.357/PIR11/5) on November 15, 2010 at 11:05am: Rhonda GOD IS GOOD!!! Many prayers out to the sailors and their families. Praying for all that have lost loved ones. May God comfort each and everyone of you during these holidays.
